I took lucky into the vet again Friday before last to have another tumor removed.

This one almost got though the wall of his intestines but the vet said he got it all without too much cutting.

doggy recovered quickly (he's used to it) and is still putting weight back on and looking good.

But something happened to him this time. Don't know if it was a stroke or bad anesthesia monitoring or what.
But he is not the same mentally.
He gets scared easily when he thinks he's alone and now he barks, never did that before.
He gets lost and can't find his way around.
He bumps his head on everything there is, he has an eye infection because he scratched his eye on something he ran into.
He walks in circles sometimes, but rarely in a straight line anymore.
He isn't housebroken anymore. he makes it outside most of the time but goes on the patio instead of the grass.

I had to build a fence around the pool last week because he fell In twice, only did that once in 12 years before.
With those little legs he's not much of a swimmer and can't see to find the steps, I was afraid my wife or son would find him floating in the pool one day.

It seems like it's one step forward and two back.
